Your shoulder and spine work together. While it may seem like they are two completely different areas, it's been discovered that postural abnormalities can play a significant role in your likelihood of developing shoulder pain. Maintaining a full range of motion in your shoulder and spinal joints of your neck and mid-back can help reduce your chances of dealing with shoulder pain. If you notice shoulder discomfort or restricted movement, contact us for a complete evaluation. ...We'll work to create a movement-based plan to help you find long-term relief. Shoulder pain?

Degenerative disc disease is one of the most common causes of back pain, and also one of the most misunderstood. Degenerative disc disease refers to symptoms of back or neck pain caused by wear-and-tear and aging of your spinal discs. In some cases, degenerative disc disease can cause weakness, numbness, and hot, shooting pains in the arms or legs. Degenerative disc disease typically consists of low-level chronic pain with short bursts of more severe pain. Despite what the na...me suggests, degenerative disc disease is not a true disease, but a condition in which natural, age-related wear-and-tear on a disc causes pain, instability, and other symptoms. In most cases, it's a natural part of aging! This condition usually does not result in long-term disability, and most cases can be managed using non-surgical treatment methods like chiropractic. If you've experienced any symptoms related to degenerative disc disease give us a call today at (831) 457-2000 to schedule an appointment! See more

Tennis elbow isn't just for athletes. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful condition that occurs when the tendons in your elbow are inflamed and overloaded due to repetitive motion. Because of the motion that occurs when swinging a racket, it's commonly referred to as tennis elbow, but anyone who has a job that features repetitive arm motions may be at risk.

Don't let failure stop you. Let it be the jolt you need to succeed.

Knees hurt? You're not alone. Chronic knee pain is thought to affect up to 25% of adults and can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life. Your knee is a hinge-joint that primarily moves back and forth (flexion and extension) and allows some twisting or rotation. Every step you take places stress and strain on your knees, so it's no surprise that trauma, misalignment, and degenerative changes can all take their toll.

Golf is one of the most brutal sports for your spine. The twisting and shearing forces that happen during a golf swing place a tremendous amount of stress on your spinal discs, muscles, and ligaments. Taking proactive measures off the course is critical to staying healthy on the course, and pro golfer Fred Funk has continued to use chiropractic care to keep him playing at the top of his game. Are you a golfer looking to reduce your risk of injury and maybe even shave a few strokes off your game? Call us today at (831) 457-2000.

Every step you take transfers force from the bottom of your foot to your knee. Therefore, your shoes should provide the support you need to keep your knees healthy for at least 10,000 steps per day.

No matter how difficult you may think that your life is currently becoming, brighter days are always ahead waiting to embrace us, if we never dare to stop pressing forward.

While knee pain may not be entirely preventable, there are steps you can take to keep your knees as healthy as possible. At the top of the list is to watch your weight. For every pound you are overweight, your knee must absorb an extra 4 pounds of pressure when you walk, run or climb stairs.

Progress has little to do with speed, but much to do with direction! So honor every step...no matter how slow.

It can be extremely confusing to figure out the difference between hip and SI (sacroiliac) joint pain. But being able to identify which one is the culprit is crucial when you are looking to find relief. Your SI joint is the connection between your tailbone (sacrum) and your pelvis. The SI joint is very fibrous and only moves a few millimeters. On the other hand, your hip is much less stable and allows your entire leg to move in every plane of motion.

Things change. Life doesn't stop for anybody, but you have to keep going in order to see the change.
